Or you want to change your Office 2013/2016 Product key to the new one when the old one is out of date and it is asking for the product key. Three ways to change Office 2013/2016 Product Key: Way1: Change Office 2013/2016 Product Key from File Account Way2: Change Office 2013/2016 Product Key from Programs and Features. While physical content used to help distribute the software, you now have the ability to browse listings for a new Microsoft Office 2016 key on eBay. Read on to learn about the Microsoft Office license key listings and things to consider while you shop. Recognizing the differences between Home and Professional Microsoft Office product keys.

Simply signing into Office as another User does not change the 'Belongs to' entry in Office 2016. If the person it belongs to doesn't match the signed in person Office 2016 will start showing a licensing error.

It would be nice if there was a change owner button, or something similar, but there isn't. Luckily, it's not too hard to fix.

4 Steps total

Step 1: Open a command prompt

Use your favorite method to get a command prompt open. Winkey+R then CMD, Start then Command Prompt, etc.

Microsoft Office Product Code

NOTE - you need to run this as administrator

Microsoft office 2011 mac code. Important note for Office 365 subscriptions: After September 22, 2016, Office 2011 for Mac is no longer available for installation with an Office 365 subscription.This doesn't affect one-time purchases of Office for Mac 2011 such as, Office Home and Student, Office Home and Business, or Office Professional.

Step 2: Run the ospp.vbs command

Run the following command to get the last 5 digits of the product key:

cscript.exe '%ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice16ospp.vbs' /dstatus

Step 3: Run ospp.vbs again, different options

Run the same command again, but change the options. This time you will be unpublishing the key you found in step 2. Replace XXXXX with the key from step 2.

cscript.exe '%ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft OfficeOffice16ospp.vbs' /unpkey:XXXXX

Step 4: Exit command prompt, run an Office app

Once you've exited the command prompt open any Office program (Word, Excel, etc.) and you will be prompted to sign in. Whatever account you sign in with will become the 'Belongs to' account.

It only takes a few seconds to do this, but I don't know why MS made it so you have to leave the apps and go CLI for it.

  I have this issue a lot and you might also need to check a few other places for like the Credential Manager

  Also you might need to clear this registry entries:
  HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentityIdentities
  HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Provider
  HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentity
  HKEYU(The Users SID)SoftwareMicrosoftOffice15.0 or 16.0CommonIdentity

  yeah you can do this, good for non-shared activation of Office 365 2016. its worth looking into the Office Deployment Toolkit from MS, you can setup Shared-User activation for systems that have multi users.

  Running the commands alone did not affect the 'Belongs to:' entry for me, though I am running Office 365, not 2016. But the comment from Josh about clearing the registry entries DID work. Thanks guys!
